Okay, i'm at it again, doing weird stuff. But i'm running into an issue and have not a clue (probably already figured that out)..
systemimager 3.7.5 and the supporting cast.. Images just fine but I'm now trying to get a newer image on an older box and I should be able to do that with some tweaks but it's not working. systemimager works to the systemconfigurator point then falls on it's knees. systemimager locates the drive, see's that it is in fact a /dev/hda, runs thru the entire partition creation, label creating and rsyncs the image. The script then manipulates the modprobe.conf etc.etc and launches systemconfigurator with the following values. chroot /a/ systemconfigurator --verbose --excludesto=/etc/systemimager/systemconfig.local.exclude --configsi --stdin << EOL || shellout After the image is layed down, the files are manipulated /dev/sda -> /dev/hda etc. I see the following messages (sorry can't paste identical as it's only sending systemconfigurator data to screen). Probing devices to guess bios drives "No suitable drive was found in the generated device map" Reverting to backed up copy. Getting label for /dev/hda1 thru /dev/hda8 Warning Label / not found anywhere on the System And continues this way thru all my partitions and labels which I believe systemimager actually successfully created earlier in the script. I then get the normal no bootloaders were installed as there were no acceptable blah blah devices found and Croak dead.. I can do a fdisk -l and see my partition table is correct.. But it's never able to really create the MBR is my guess since the box won't boot.. /etc/grub.conf shows correct and linux rescue sees the linux filesystem, so systemconfigurator is failing to complete it's task and i'm left with a fully imaged, partitioned disk but no Master Boot Record or boot loader. A) systemconfigurator is failing to find my HDA device, why, when systemimager found it fine.. B) where is systemconfigurator pulling the device map from? Is there something being caught on the original sda image that needs to be manually changed I'm sure someone can walk me thru what systemconfigurator is doing and or what files it's grabbing to see if' that's the issue. i've also gone as far as changing /boot/grub/device.map to hda from sda in the image (no luck)..
